Hmmmmm....
Not everyone on here is a blast of sunshine and unfortunately you will find out soon enough, it's imminent. If you ever see anyone deliberately trying to annoy people or if a group of users decide to bully a user do not give them the light of day, I know it's tempting to defend the victim(s) and argue with the bullies but it's not going to do anything good in all honesty. Report them and avoid those specific users, the site will be fabulous that way.
Also if you ever find that you are under attack, please do not bite back as they likely want a reaction and more often than not it will be the same people bothering you. So my advice applies in this situation too.
You will usually find those people in controversial threads, so avoid them if you can.
As for the trading community, people are very kind on here and will guide you through the process of doing trades. However you may stumble across the occasional scammer, BTB (
Bell
Tree
Bells) is the better payment method because if you are scammed you can simply report it and get your BTB back. The staff can't do anything about the loss of your in game bells or in game items if you were to be scammed unfortunately, so please be careful.
We have a Wi-Fi rating system here, if a user has 100% with at least 5 trades under their belt (this is what I usually aim for when I want someone to trade with) then you can likely trust them, if a user has 100% and 0 trades do not trade with them, they may be a scammer and check the user's join date, because if they join on the day that they start a trade with you then they may be a scammer.
They may be completely innocent but personally, I would rather be safe when I'm doing a trade of any kind.
Enjoy your stay on TBT.
